Summary : Annotate and examine compiled binary files
Description :
This package contains the tools needed to annotate binary files created by
compilers, and also the tools needed to examine those annotations.
One of the tools is a plugin for GCC that records information about the
security options that were in effect when the binary was compiled.
Note - the plugin is automatically enabled in gcc builds via flags
provided by the redhat-rpm-macros package.
One of the tools is a plugin for Clang that records information about the
security options that were in effect when the binary was compiled.
One of the tools is a plugin for LLVM that records information about the
security options that were in effect when the binary was compiled.
One of the tools is a security checker which analyses the notes present in
annotated files and reports on any missing security options.
